• Dependable, professional, trustworthy, and comfortable interacting with staff and others across multiple properties.
• Strong time-management skills and the ability to travel between work locations.
• Ability to read and follow equipment instructions, safety labels, and workplace guidelines.
• Valid driver’s license required.
• Journeyman cards or similar electrical/plumbing credentials are preferred but not required.

• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds.
• Ability to regularly climb ladders and work from elevated areas, including man lifts.
• Comfortable working indoors and outdoors in varying weather conditions.
• Ability to work in environments that may include heat, attics, noise, and other typical facilities-maintenance conditions.
• Willingness to travel between properties throughout Northeast Florida and South Georgia.
• Flexibility to participate in rotating weekend coverage and respond to occasional after-hours or emergency service needs.

Ideal Candidate

We’re looking for someone who is a true hands-on problem solver. You don’t need to be an expert in every trade, but you should be comfortable assessing an issue, troubleshooting the cause, and determining the best path forward.

You’ll be a strong fit if you:

• Take ownership of your work and follow projects through to completion.
• Can clearly explain what you have personally diagnosed, repaired, installed, or maintained.
• Have especially strong experience with plumbing and general facilities maintenance.
• Enjoy troubleshooting unfamiliar equipment and learning new systems.
• Are proactive rather than waiting to be told what needs attention.
• Take pride in maintaining clean, professional, well-kept properties.
• Can shift priorities when an unexpected maintenance issue arises.
• Value reliability, teamwork, accountability, and quality workmanship.
• This position offers a Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–3:30 PM standard schedule, with overtime opportunities and rotating after-hours/weekend coverage when needed.
